Mexican cuisine is a must-taste one at this fast food. Try nicely cooked tacos. Taco John's is recommended for the friendly staff. Many reviewers highlight that the service is good. The enjoyable atmosphere makes a positive impression on visitors. But google users haven't given this place a high rating.
On Super Bowl Sunday 2024, around 9:30 at night, I decided to try this place on my way to Walmart. I passed it so many times since October, when I moved here.
My God, am I disappointed I didn't stop in sooner!!!!!! I thought this place would be like a certain Taco establishment that is popular on the east coast, something to do with a bell. Wrong. I was completely wrong.
So I roll in off the main road, turn into their lot, navigate behind the building to the drive-through area, and get in line behind 2 other cars. I navigate over to the Google Play Store on my phone. I got anxious about the menu and my personal ability to choose without making the guy behind me mad at a new to me drive up menu. By the time I got to that speaker, I had my rewards app open with my QR Code for rewards ready to go.
I am greeted with "Welcome to Taco John's, my name is Justin, I'll be right with you." I glanced over the menu. I spotted a fish taco, and I despise fish tacos simply out of my belief that tacos are meant to be be made of ground beef or chicken, and whoever brought fish into this was out of line. Justin came back over the speaker, and I said, "Justin, this is my first time at Taco John's, and I want to know what you eat on break while you're working." Without hesitation, he told me it's a steak something or other burrito. I said I'll take one, a fish taco as well, and a diet Mountain Dew. I pulled up, waited like a minute behind the car at the pickup window, pulled forward and waited another minute or so, and received my food, with a smile, from one Justin.
The weight of the bag was the first clue. This was nothing like Taco B___. The smell that filled my car was fresh and had a hint of onion and garlic. As I pulled into my spot in Walmart next door, I could hardly wait. So I pick up the burrito, and this thing is no joke. I took 2 bites and knew I could not pass this place again without stopping for this item. Even if I'm not hungry, I'm getting one for later. It's that good. It's as good as any "Fresco Mexican" trendy named joint on the east coast, if not better. And then there's the fish taco. Crispy, hot fish is cut up and placed inside a warm flour tortilla with a zesty sauce that's just so good. Even the napkins are gently laid in the bag, not shoved in angrily by some disgruntled employee.
God bless the owner and staff of this particular Taco John's, I wish them much success. They deserve it. Unlike the Walmart employees I interacted with tonight. But that's for another review.
Thanks for reading, and as always, have a blessed day!!!!
